Sweet Sixteen Coming Soon

In almost a month and a half it will be my sweet sixteen! (3/3)
I havent actually had a real birthday party since I was 10, so I dont know exactly what to do. I'm thinking about having some friends over, maybe go to a movie and the mall, and going home to my house for some vegan cake. If you have any suggestions please tell me because I need ideas!

Clicks To Help Animals!

Helping animals (besides being vegan) doesn't always have to take a lot of time or effort, or cost money. Here are some easy ways to help them without even leaving your computer chair, or even having to really think!

I'll be adding more sites whenever I find them!

1. PETA: Get Your FREE Vegetarian Starter Kit from PETA
   If you aren't already a vegan/vegetarian, this booklet gives you easy recipes and interesting information on the subject.
   
2. PETA: Join P!nk in Signing petition to ban Horse-Drawn carriages in NYC
   
3. The Animal Rescue Site: Click to Give
   When you click the button once per day, advertising sponsers donate .6 bowls of food to hungry animals in shelters
   
4. Care2.com: Race for Pets in Need
   Each click helps vaccinate one animal. "100% of the donations generated go to The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Rural Area Veterinary Services"
   
5. Care2.com: Race for the Big Cats
   Each click provides habitat for Jaguars, Tigers, and Snow Leopards!
   
6. Care 2.com: Race for the Primates
   Each click provides an apple to a hungry primate!
   
7. Care2.com: Race to Save Baby Seals
   Each click helps provide funding for a Public Service Announcement protesting the Canadian Seal Hunt!
   
8. Goodsearch.com: Use this Search Engine
   Choose the charity you wish to donate to (PETA, In Defense of Animals, ASPCA, WSPA and Mercy For Animals are all good choices, maybe your local shelter will be on there!)
   
9. PETA: Send an E-card!
   PETA E-cards send more than just a written message, and are so easy to send!

I found this on YouTube, it's quite funny but also very factual.

See PETA's End of Year Video

This video nicely sums up what People for the Ethical treatment of Animals (PETA) did in the year of 2007, showing some of their victories and some other events that happened. Check it out, it's very interesting.
